A STRANGE SORT OF CASE.
A Negro Woman in Possession of
Child of Fortune.
Prom the Macon Teleqrnph


From the Macon Telegraph
Mention was made in the Telegraph Mon
day morning of a negro woman on Fourth
street having in her possession white boy
about s years old. On Sunday afternoon,
while Officer Grace was ON duty, he passed
by the house and saw the woman beating
the child. He reported the matter, and
Monday morning the case was before Mayor
Price, acting Recorder.
The woman is Madaline West, formerly
OF Savannah, who is claimed TO be worth
some 1000 or Sl2, 900 She has figured in
the court here before. When questioned as
to her claim on the child she said it was be-
ing taken care of by her, and satisfied the
Mayor by her statements that she had a
legal right to hold it, though she said She
would be willing to have it placed i'll any
asylum where it could be properly brought
up. She cried considerably over the charge
of illtreatng it, and in proof that she had
not done SO stripped the clothing from the
boy and barred its back upon which there
were no bruises. She was allowed to so.
Headers OF the lelegrdph will remember
that when the drupmerS held their conven-
ton in Macon, Capt. Whack Bailey was
constantly Swallowed by u little boy who
took strange fancy to him, followed him
all over the streets and when Blackshear
photographed all the members i'll front of
the Academy of Music, the boy occupied a
prominent place in the picture by the side
Of Capt Bailey. At last, being forced by
the attachment of the boy to feel an in
tereSt in him, the Captain asked him his
name, and il was found to be Clarence
Bailey, the same as his own. 1t
was such a remarkable coincidence that
Capt. Whack was almost tempted to take
the boy with him to his home in Augusta.
This Clarence Bailey is the little fellow
taken care of by Madaline West. Before
the Mayor Monday she said she had left
him all she had in her will, and she denied
that she had treated him cruelty, though
she did correct him.
The child is remarkably white and fair
skinned, has blue eyes and white hair
Madalinc lives on Fourth street, between
Plum and Pine.

THE McGLYNN CASE.
The Deposed Pastors Acts of Disobedience
Began In 1882.

The Deposed Pastors Acts of Disobedience
Began In 1882.
NEW YORK, January 22.-Archbishop
Corrigan is out tonight in his first pub
lie statement in the McGlynn case, giving
its history as far back AZ 1882, when
disobedience commenced In August OF
that year Rome notified New York
that Father McGlynns speeches were
the Church. For this contrition was eX-
pressed by the priest, who said the error
wovld not occur again. In May, 1SS3,
Rome complained that DR.. McGlynn had
broken his promise, and suggested that
he could not better use his summer
vacation than in visiting the Holy City,
when he could make personal eXplana-
ton. In June DIR. McGlynn declined the
invitation with thanks, and made no prom
ise of reformation. /. 1856 he again took
to the offensive political speaking, and the
Archbishop wrote forbidding him to
address meeting for which he
was advertised, to which Dr. Me
Glynn answered that he would speak de-
spite the prohibition, for which he was
suspended the balance of the year. Last
December u cablegram from the Propa-
ganda came, saying: "Lct graduate pro-
ceed at once TO Rome"
After waiting two weeks and not hear
ing from the doctor, the Archbishop wanted
to know his answer. 1t came, and was Il
refusal Early this month came n letter
from Cardinal Simeoni, to which the doc
tor replied: 81 will not 80 to Rome" ]"
Then came his removal from st. Stephen S
Church. On January 10th came cable.
gram from the Cardital peremptorily or
dering him to Rome. Itwas ignored. On
the 18th came another with like results.
The letcst phase of this unhappy conflict
occurred this morning when Archbishop
Jacobini, Secretary TO the Pope, cablcd as
follows:
"For prudential reasons the Propaganda
has hitherto postponed action in the case
of DIR. McGlynn. The sovereign Pontiil
has now taken the matter in his own
hands. The ease now rests between DIR,
McGlynn and the Holy Father.

ENGLAND WORRIED

At the Retaliatory Attitude of the United
States.
OTTAWA, ONT, January 22.-The an
nouncement that considerable cipher cor
respondence by cable had been passing
Yesterday between the British government
and the Governor Generals office has
caused unusual interest here, rs it
is understood that it is In
relation to the fishery difficulty and the
retalliatory attitude recently taken at
Washington. 1t is positively known that
the British Government impressed upon
Sir John M:DOnatd when sanctiOning the
enforcement of the fishery regulations OF
the treaty of 1918, after thr abrogatiOn of
the fishery clauses of the Washington
treaty in 1895, the necessity OF maintain
ing friendly relations with the United
States. That the British government did
not desire to get mixed up IN the
fishery squabble was made apparent
in their not cooperating IN the
of their war vessels with the
Dominion cruisers in the protection OF the
fisheries rs was the case in 1871. Before
the Washington treaty was ratified. The
fear of being drawn into trouble
with the United States by
some bungling act of the dominion Gov
ernment has undoubtedly given considera-
BILE uneasiness to the British Government,
and there is little doubt that Lord Sails
bury is disposed to any reasonable inter
pretation of the treaty, rather than strain
it to its utmost limit.
Hon. George E. Foster, Minister of Ma
rine and Fisheries, has been sent for and is
now hurrying here.

Mnst Maintain Its Dignity.

Special telegram 10 the Sunday Register.
TORONTO, ONT, January 2.-The pre-
posed retaliatory measures of the United
States Government against Canada are COM
mented on by the leading Canadian papers,
while all discuss the matter in tone of
regret. Some profess to think that the
threats are merely a piece of bluster and
express the opinion that should the pro-
posed measures be adopted they would be
imperative. Others take n more serious
view of the matter, but assert that the
policy of nOn-intercourse, if put into effect
would be rs injuriOu. to the United States
as to Canada. 1t is agreed on all hands,
however, that the Canadian government,
come what may, must maintain its dignity
and protect its rights.

City Building, that he had written such 4
letter to Mr.. Garden, and this joker, who
is constantly attempting TO take in other
people, WAS taken in himself and swallowed
the little story whole. Being Il good and
loyal Republican he hustled down to the
MttHig,Hc,r Office Mt the first opportunity
and impaired the startling intelligence.
TO let him out of the blame, however, the
denOuement was hiIched onto the Charles
ton special to make it look as if the corre-
spondent had caught the alleged pointer
himself. The way kicked himself all day
yesterday while those in the Joke laughed.
